Silat Nui Mukau

Aqua Magna, c. 100,000 AGR

Originating from a completely different island in the blue sea of Aqua Magna, this larger and heftier model of an ancient rahi is a dependable livestock, much beloved by the farmers of Meki-Nui.

I did a solo render of Gali and got around to rendering some more Rahi I made a while ago.

Since I made the Kaukau I can now finish the Mukau. Here it is with a fixed Maha. I made the mask normal blue because having a weird transparent blue bulge on its back seemed odd.

I made the Ruki and I never really did a proper render of the Takea so here’s all my swimming Rahi.

And here’s the Hoto and Hoi Turtle. I modifed the Hoi a bit to make it so all 4 of it’s legs were functional, the set version uses the L shaped beam for the body meaning the rear legs are useless.

The Artakha Bull, Mahi, and Mukau were all created by the same Makuta.

These were three of the few mammal Rahi to be successfully incorporated into widespread Matoran ecosystems, though the Artakha Bull population decreased to critical status due to the overabundance of predatory Rahi created by Makuta Chirox, which disrupted their habitats.

BIONICLE Retrospective

2001: Quest for the Masks

Part 7.12 Mukau

Here we go, the last of the Pohatu combiners, and the last canon set of 2001. That’s right, everybody, it’s the Mata Nui Cow! Or at least, that’s what it’s called these days.

Back in 2001, this combiner, made from Pohatu and Gali, was known as the Mukau. Yeah, it’s pronounced exactly the way you think it is. Exactly why this, of all Bionicle names, was considered too silly to be canon, I do not know. I am only certain that I have always referred to it, and always will, by its true name.
